I'll withhold further definitive judgement until there are some more detailed renderings of the curtainwall and other details, but I do think the new descriptions of "fluted V-shaped bay windows" will at the least create a more interesting and dynamic texture and depth to the facade (think 555 California but with added balconies) than what I previously imagined, which was just a simple, plain, smooth glass curtainwall.

Also, someone brought up a good point in the SFYIMBY comment section. Given how small the footprint for that site is, there isn't much opportunity for design variety in terms of the actual shape and structure without giving up some residential units, which would defeat the purpose of the density bonus. So while it's probably going to remain a tall box, hopefully they can add some design elements to make it attractive while still maximizing the residential space.
